Shortcode conflicts

    Working fine to insert php. But all other shortcodes are broken and show the shortcode without actioning them.
    No shortcode is used inside the php. The php retrieves various posts – the shortcodes in these posts work fine, just the ones for the page that are external to the php shortcode wrapper.

    This is happening for a calendar plugin and a column shortcode. I have tried with each separately and they both break. I am using version 1.3

    TheOneTrueVlad, there are indeed conflicts that I hear about once in a while.

    Putting the Insert PHP functionality between the [column…]…[/column] shortcodes is likely to be the reason.

    You see, Insert PHP doesn’t use short codes. What appears to be a shortcode ([insert_php]…[/insert_php]) are placeholders for the plugin marking where the PHP code starts and where it ends. The plugin uses the eval() function to run the PHP code and replaces the [insert_php]…[/insert_php] with any output the PHP code may have generated.

    That action may be interfering with the shortcodes you’re using.

    Probably a decision will need to be made to either put the Insert PHP functionality outside any other shortcodes or to not use Insert PHP at all.

    Will
